Default Spacing in row?

In rereading this thread, I noticed DarJone's 18" spacing of beans. Since mine are placed at 6-8", I'm wondering whether I should thin them. The Gigandes have been placed in the same row with about 10 other types of pole beans. Does close spacing promote leaf disease? reduce yield? make it hard to find beans? Just looking for feedback from more experienced bean growers. Thanks for your input.
